In brief, what happens with big particles is that they crack into much smaller ones due to these expansion/contraction cycles think of freeze/thaw cycles in the winter and lose contact with the electrode additives and the electrolyte, cripling the electrode life.

The cripling effect which it will have on the manufacturing and through it upon the agricultural interests of the country the debasing tendency which this warfare of the poor upon the rich will exert upon the morals of the people at large.

Would a military branch to protect our citizens against cripling costs by providing long term housing structures using military personell for maintenance, food and nursing but allowing private doctors to support their patients be possible?
